While trying to align two doc files, the alignment stops with the error message \"Don\'t use ; as a list separator in style name\". Change win.ini



Can anyone help?

Hallo Alexandra.



das Problem kannst Du leicht lösen, indem Du über Systmsteuerung Ländereinstellungen im bereich der Zahlenformate das Listentrennzeichen auf , (Komma) umstellst.

Geht auch noch anders... Mar 4, 2003

Das Problem tritt immer dann auf, wenn man z. B. aus dem Ausland ein paar Word-Dateien bekommt, in denen abweichend benannte Formatvorlagen genutzt werden. Die abweichenden Namen werden von Word dann mit einem Semikolon getrennt zum ursprünglichen Namen der Formatvorlage zugefügt und lösen das Trados-Gemecker aus.



Man kann die Formatvorlagen auch einfach umbenennen, wenn man auf globale Änderungen in der Systemsteuerung verzichten möchte.

Wie man\'s nun macht, ist Geschmackssache. ▲ Collapse

This is not the only solution Mar 4, 2003

The other possibility is to change the style names, so that they do not have any \";\" more.

To do so one should go to Tools - Organising styles (or similar, this is taken from german Word) and then view style namens and locate those, where \";\" occurs.



Best

modify style names Mar 4, 2003

Hello Jerzy,



but please don\'t forget to change the style names back after the translation.



With kind regards
